There are limited number of spaces available per category. As this is an international series, a reserved number of slots will be allocated to overseas participants. It is advisable to sign-up early.
Race Route : The exact route will be kept confidential until a few weeks prior to the race. The route will be a mixture of trail, road, gravel, clay, stone tracks that will pass by Mandai, Woodlands and Bukit Timah. Please note that this year's route will vary from that of previous years.
